Keto Chocolate Ice Cream Recipe

Keto Chocolate Ice Cream Recipe – Easy No Churn Low Carb Ice Cream – Simple Desserts with 4 ingredients.

Keto chocolate ice cream

Keto Chocolate Ice Cream Recipe

This Keto chocolate ice cream recipe is a rich, decadent dessert that’s no churn – so you don’t need an ice cream maker to enjoy your own homemade ice cream.

Folding together ice cream ingredients

There are only 4 ingredients in this ice cream:

4 Eggs – the eggs need to be separated, which you can do by cracking the egg over a bowl and placing the whites in one bowl and yolks in another. As this dessert does contain raw eggs, be sure you’re using fresh eggs and refrain from giving it to children, the elderly, those with weakened immunity or pregnant.

1/2 Cup Stevia – for sweetness, stevia is my go to sweetener. You can use whatever sweetener you like and include more or less depending on how sweet you’d like your ice cream to be. (Find stevia on Amazon.)

Cream – use heavy, whipping, double or whatever cream you can whip to thickened whipped cream.

Cocoa Powder – for the chocolate element cocoa powder is used. You can use cacao powder instead if that’s what you have. (Find cocoa powder on Amazon.)

Bowl of chocolate ice cream

Keto Chocolate Ice Cream Recipe

  • 4 Eggs
  • 1/2 Cup Stevia
  • 1 Cup Cream
  • 1/4 Cup Cocoa Powder

Low Carb Lemon Mousse

by

Low Carb Lemon Mousse Recipe – Easy No Bake Keto Desserts with 4 ingredients including cream cheese and heavy whipping cream – with the video.

Low carb lemon mousse recipe - easy keto desserts

Low Carb Lemon Mousse Recipe

This low carb lemon mousse tastes like a zesty lemon cheesecake, yet takes almost no effort to prepare.

For the cream, use whatever cream you can whip into fluffy whipped cream. That may be called heavy, double or whipping cream, depending where you are.

Whisking ingredients together

It’s up to you how many carbs you want to allocate to your mousse. So go for the zest and juice of 1/2 to 1 lemon. I like to grate my lemon using a small, microplane grater and squeeze the juice over a sieve to catch any pips.

Stevia is my sweetener of choice and we like our lemon desserts quite sour, so 2 tablespoons works for us. If you’d prefer a sweeter mousse then go for 4 tablespoons. (Or more. ) And, use whatever sweetener you usually use as part of your diet. (Here are more easy keto cream cheese desserts.)

Whisking lemon zest into whipped cream and cream cheese

Keto Lemon Mousse Recipe

  • 1 Cup Cream (Heavy, Double or Whipping)
  • 1/2 Cup Cream Cheese, softened
  • 2-4 Tablespoons Stevia
  • 1/2 to 1 Lemon – juice and zest
  1. Pour the cream into a large bowl.
  2. Using an electric beater, whip the cream until thickened.
  3. Add in the cream cheese and stevia.
  4. Whip until fully incorporated and creamy.
  5. Grate over the lemon zest, using a microplane grater, and squeeze the lemon over a sieve to catch any pips.
  6. Whip in the lemon zest and juice until smooth.
  7. Taste the mousse and add more stevia, if needed.
  8. Place the lemon mousse to a serving bowl and move into the fridge for a few hours to thicken, then enjoy.

Low Carb Broccoli Salad Recipe

by

Low Carb Broccoli Salad Recipe – Easy Make Ahead Lunch Salads with the recipe and video tutorial.

Low Carb Broccoli Salad Recipe - Easy Keto Lunch Salads

Low Carb Broccoli Salad

This easy low carb broccoli salad is a brilliant make ahead meal that I often enjoy for lunch or take to potlucks or picnics.

There are only four ingredients in this simple salad:

Broccoli – the whole broccoli is used in this recipe – with the florets chopped into bite sized pieces and stalk grated into the salad for a mixture of flavors and textures. (For more salad inspiration, here are my easy Keto Lettuce Wraps.)

Chopped broccoli with lemon

Lemon – you can use half to the whole lemon, both the zest and juice, depending on how many carbs you want to include in your broccoli salad.

Sour Cream – I adore including low carb, high fat sour cream in my creamy salads. You can also mix in mayo or low carb natural yogurt for a different, tangy flavor. (For another easy, creamy salad, here’s a 4 ingredient keto cucumber salad.)

Grated Cheese – adding in a portion (or more) of grated cheese turns the salad into a whole meal.

There are plenty of other ingredients you can add to your creamy broccoli salad, such as:

  • Salt, Pepper or any other seasoning you like
  • Sunflower Seeds
  • Flaked Almonds
  • Pumpkin Seeds
  • Chia Seeds
  • Walnuts
  • Feta
  • Goats Cheese

You can store the salad in a salad bowl in the fridge, although my preference is a glass storage container so that I can easily transport the salad if need be. (Here are glass storage containers on Amazon.)

Easy make ahead keto salad for lunch

  • 1 Head of Broccoli

Keto Alcohol Guide

by

Keto Alcohol Guide – Tips about alcohol tolerance, list for drinks you can have on the low carb Keto Diet and options to help keep you in Ketosis.

Keto Alcohol Guide - Tips about alcohol tolerance and low carb list for drinks

Keto Alcohol Guide

This Keto Alcohol Guide will help you make a responsible choice about whether to include alcohol in your diet and how to do so without being kicked out of Ketosis.

Keto Alcohol Drinks List

What Alcohol Can You Drink On Keto

First, let me start with the list of the alcohol you can have on Keto as it’s the lowest carb alcohol options:

  • Absinthe
  • Bourbon
  • Brandy
  • Brut Champagne
  • Dry Wine
  • Gin
  • Grappa
  • Low Carb Beer
  • Rum
  • Scotch
  • Tequila
  • Vodka
  • Whiskey

Make Your Own Mixed Drinks

Keto mixed drinks

You may choose to consume your alcohol neat, without mixing anything into it. Or, there are a couple of options to create your own Keto friendly mixed drink, by mixing alcohol with your choice from:

  • Soda Water
  • Sparkling Water
  • Diet Soda
  • Flavored Sparkling Water
  • Lemon/Lime/Orange
  • Berries
  • Bitters

Avoid any mixed drinks with added sugars – just create your own with some of the above suggestions instead.

So, for example you could make a berry flavored vodka mixed drink by mixing vodka with berry flavored sparkling water and even a handful of fresh berries too.

Does Alcohol Kick You Out Of Ketosis?

Does alcohol kick you out of ketosis

It absolutely can, if you have too much or consume alcohol that’s loaded with sugars and/or carbs.

Consider abstaining from alcohol in the beginning of your Keto journey, so that you can become fully adapted and learn what it feels like to be in Ketosis.

Then, when you feel absolutely ready, start small and learn your own limits. You’ll likely find that after being in Ketosis for a while you really don’t need or tolerate much alcohol. So, exercise serious caution.

Consistent alcohol intake may even prevent you from losing weight. So, monitor for yourself what your safe limit is for feeling good and continuing to lose weight – it will be different for everybody.

Plan for Snacks and Electrolytes

Plan for keto snacks when drinking

This is the key to help you stay in Ketosis and not feel absolutely awful. (Believe me – hangovers on Keto are BRUTAL!)

Plan for the likely snacks you’ll crave when you start drinking. Keep keto friendly nuts, jerky or something sweet like the above pictured easy keto chocolate bark. (Also, click through for ideas for 17 Keto Snacks On The Go.)

Now more than ever it’s important to consume enough electrolytes – water, salt, potassium and magnesium. Safely supplement before, during and after to prevent the worst hangover of your life and slipping out of Ketosis.

Roasted Brussel Sprouts With Parmesan

by

Keto Roasted Brussel Sprouts With Parmesan Recipe – Best Quick & Easy Low Carb Budget Friendly Cheesy, Crispy Garlic Brussels Side Dishes with the full step by step video tutorial.

Keto Roasted Brussel Sprouts With Parmesan Recipe

Roasted Brussel Sprouts With Parmesan

These roasted brussel sprouts with parmesan cheese makes a hearty keto diet friendly side dish to enjoy the next time that sprouts are in season.

Brussel Sprouts are in season at the moment here in Ireland and I’ve been finding bags of the nutritious vegetable for as low as 49 cents for 500g (around 1.1lbs), at the grocery store.

There are many health benefits of brussels sprouts, which make then a great low carb vegetable to include in a ketogenic diet. And, this delicious recipe may even tempt family members to try the dish as a side with a main course, even if they aren’t really a big fan of brussels sprouts. 

If you’re new to cooking with brussel sprouts yourself, they are like little mini cabbages, especially the larger sprouts, and they have a natural nutty flavor that perfectly complements the simple ingredients that it’s cooked with, especially when it’s lots of grated parmesan cheese, like in this easy side dish. 

Recipe Ingredients

If you’d like to ensure that the delicious side dish is vegetarian or even vegan friendly, just use a vegetarian or vegan parmesan alternative.

I suggest including between 2-4 Tablespoons of both olive oil or avocado oil and parmesan cheese in the recipe, because it depends on how much oil you’d like to allocate to your dish and how cheesy you want it.

Start with 2 tablespoons of each, give it all a toss and then add the other 2 tablespoons if you’d like. You can also add in a little fresh lemon juice or zest, balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar for added flavor to the perfect side dish. 

You can also swap the cheese for any cheese you like. Or make the dish extra cheesy by including a combination of cheeses such as adding in grated mozzarella cheese or cheddar cheese.

Another option for more creaminess is to swap the oil for heavy cream to creamy creamy, cheesy brussels sprouts. 

Brussel Sprouts ready to be roasted in the oven

You can use the garlic powder, as suggested. Or, crush a clove or two of fresh garlic instead or other great options are to use a little bit of onion powder, Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes, which will still keep the parmesan roasted brussels sprouts low in net carbs.

A favorite way to prepare the low carb side dish that appeals to the entire family, especially at holiday meals, is to make a meaty version with plenty of crispy bacon bits tossed through the tender brussels sprouts recipe. 

Whichever way you choose to prepare this keto side dish, you’ll be rewarded with a hearty, cheesy side to enjoy during brussel sprouts season.

Keto Brussels Sprouts

Keto Roasted Brussel Sprouts Recipe

  • 500g/1.1lbs Fresh Brussels Sprouts
  • 2-4 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Avocado Oil
  • 2-4 Tablespoons Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F and get out a baking dish.
  2. Wash and halve or chop the sprouts into a similar size and place the trimmed brussels sprouts into the baking dish.
  3. Pour over the olive oil, parmesan, garlic, salt and pepper.
  4. Toss well to combine and ensure that everything is in a single layer for even cooking.
  5. Place into the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

10 Best Keto Foods

by

10 Best Keto Foods – A Grocery Shopping List Of Top 10 of the BEST Low Carb Essentials and how to include them in a ketogenic meal plan.

Top 10 best keto foods

10 Best Keto Foods

By mixing and matching these 10 best keto foods you’ll see that following a low carb meal plan doesn’t have to be complicated.

These are my go to foods that I always have to hand in my pantry and fridge to be able to easily create keto meals without any stress.

Top 10 Best Keto Foods

Here’s the full list of my top keto foods and loads of ways to incorporate them into meals.

1. Full Fat Dairy – Best Keto Foods

Full fat dairy - best keto foods

Rather than list the dairy separately (which could warrant it’s very own 10 best keto foods post) I’ve grouped low carb, high fat dairy together into an essential group of ingredients to keep to hand.

At any moment I have a selection of high fat dairy options to incorporate into meals. Here are some my favorites:

  • Butter
  • Cheese
  • Cream
  • Cream Cheese
  • Sour Cream
  • Mascarpone
  • Ricotta

2. Eggs

Keto breakfast hash

I start most days with eggs of some type for breakfast. Whether it’s an omelette, scrambled eggs or a keto breakfast hash, as pictured above, eggs make and easy breakfast staple.

3. Coconut Oil

Jar of coconut oil

Coconut oil is the perfect keto choice for cooking or incorporating into low carb sweet treats. (Here’s coconut oil on Amazon.)

Some even add a teaspoon to smoothies or coffee for a bulletproof, low carb, high fat treat.

Just a word of caution – if you’re not used to ingesting coconut oil this way, start small and work your way up. It doesn’t agree with me, I get terrible stomach cramps, so am always careful with recommending this practice – if you really want to, try a tiny bit first and see for yourself!

4. Best Keto Chocolate

Keto Chocolate pudding being poured

If you have a sweet tooth like me, then keeping keto friendly chocolate to hand means you can indulge your cravings without worrying about the carbs. (Here’s keto friendly chocolate on Amazon.)

My go to keto chocolate recipes include the above pictured chocolate pudding, hot chocolate, chocolate cake and chocolate fudge.

5. Berries

Low carb strawberry mousse

Another sweet treat that can be incorporated into easy keto desserts is to keep berries on hand. Frozen keep for longer and you’re not tempted to eat the whole carton in one go to prevent them from spoiling.

You can enjoy berries in smoothies, keto jam or the above pictured mousse.

6. Nuts & Seeds

Best Keto Foods - low carb granola

Nuts and seeds make an easy keto snack, are high in protein and fiber too. Just be sure to exercise portion control so that you don’t end up consuming your days carb allocation in nuts!

You can incorporate nuts into keto pancakes, bark or the above pictured granola. (For more snack inspiration, check out my ALDI Keto Snacks list.)

7. Broccoli

Chicken and broccoli dish

Broccoli is low in carbs and high in fiber and perfect in a stir fry, omelette or creamy chicken alfredo with broccoli.

8. Mushrooms

Keto mushroom recipes

Mushrooms are probably my favorite vegetable and I enjoy them simply fried with eggs for breakfast or as a creamy mushroom sauce to enjoy with a meaty keto meal.

9. Avocado – Best Keto Foods

Avocado-and-feta-salad

A whole avocado makes an easy snack, you can simply enjoy as is or topped with salt and feta is lovely too.

You can also include avocado in a salad, as a side with breakfast or in a creamy pesto.

10. Tuna

Best keto foods - tuna broccoli casserole

Keto chocolate mousse with cream cheese recipe

Chocolate Mousse With Cream Cheese Recipe

This easy chocolate mousse with cream cheese tastes like a sweet chocolate cheesecake, has only 4 simple ingredients and the easy recipe will satisfy your sweet tooth.

Whether you’re following a low carb, keto way of eating or whether you’re just looking for a low sugar sweet treat – you’re going to love this creamy dessert.

Spoon of keto chocolate mousse

To prepare the simple keto chocolate dessert, whip a cup of heavy cream until thickened with an electric mixer in a large mixing bowl.

You can use heavy whipping cream, double cream or whatever cream you can whip to stiff peaks of thickened whipped cream.

Then, add cocoa powder and stevia, or your sweetener of choice, such as a sugar free powdered sugar alternative. Whisk in so that the stevia and cocoa mixture is absorbed and blended in.

Whipping chocolate mousse with cream cheese

For the cheesecake flavor – add in cream cheese, which has been out of the fridge for an hour or so to soften to room temperature, and whip until you have a creamy, chocolatey, cheesecakey, decadent keto dessert.

You can move the cream cheese mixture to a serving bowl or small individual ramekins or bowls for serving. Or, move to a piping bag and fill serving glasses with the keto mousse.

Feel free to double the recipe to serve a crowd at a dinner party as the perfect dessert that’s keto diet friendly.

This makes enough for 4 small portions, which is perfect as it’s wonderfully rich and the perfect way to end a meal, especially on a special occasion like Valentine’s Day.

Keto Strawberry Jam Recipe

by

Keto Strawberry Jam Recipe With Chia Seeds – Easy Homemade Low Carb and Sugar Free Sweet Jam Recipes with the video tutorial.

Keto Strawberry Jam Recipe

Keto Strawberry Jam Recipe

This keto strawberry jam recipe is really quick and easy to prepare and a jar lasts well in the fridge.

The keto jam recipe only has three simple ingredients, all that are low in net carbs – strawberries, chia seeds and stevia. 

The simple recipe is thickened thanks to the wonder of nutritious chia seeds – which are one of the best high fiber keto foods. You can use black chia seeds, white chia seeds, ground chia seeds or grind the chia seeds yourself in a food processor if you’d prefer a smooth textured low-carb strawberry jam. 

To make the easy recipe for the chia seed jam, simply heat a bag of frozen strawberries over medium heat until easily mashable.

I tend to use frozen vegetables because they are much cheaper than fresh strawberries. But, if you come into a bounty of fresh juicy strawberries during strawberry season then feel free to use them instead.

Boiling strawberries to make low carb jam

Then, mash the strawberries until smooth and stir through chia seeds and stevia. (Or a low carb sweetener of your choice, such as monk fruit sweetener, to avoid any unnecessary added sugar that usually appears in regular jam.)

Have a taste of the sugar free strawberry jam recipe to see if it’s sweet enough to your liking. I find that a 1/4 cup of stevia per 500g/1.1lbs of berries is the perfect sweetness for me to balance the natural sweetness from the fruit juice of the berries.

Mashin strawberries

You may want to use a third or a half a cup to make it sweet enough for you.

If you’d prefer a smooth textured delicious keto strawberry jam over a chunky jam, then pass the delicious jam through a sieve or blend it when cool in a blender or food processor to create a smooth strawberry puree. 

Once the low carb strawberry jam has cooled, move the cooked jam to a mason jar and then store in the fridge.

This keto jam is perfect to use in all of your favorite ways you usually enjoy your favorite hams such as mixed through smoothies, low carb yogurt or as a topping for keto breakfast cookies, keto waffles, pancakes or spread on keto bread with peanut butter or almond butter.

How to make chia jam

Keto Strawberry Jam With Chia Seeds Recipe

  • 500g/1.1lbs Frozen Strawberries
  • 1/4 Cup Chia Seeds
  • 1/4 Cup Stevia or Keto Sweetener
  1. Place the frozen berries into a small to medium saucepan on the stove top over medium to high heat.
  2. Heat, stirring regularly, until the berries have become soft and can easily be mashed with the back of a spoon or fork.
  3. Take the berries off of the heat and mash until smooth. I like to use a potato masher to mash the berries.
  4. Add the chia seeds and stevia, stir until well combined. Taste to be sure the jam is sweet enough, stirring through more stevia, if needed.
  5. Allow the hot jam to cool and then pour the sweet jam into a jar or airtight container and store in the fridge.
  6. Use the homemade jam within a week and enjoy.
